My Favourite Bitwig 5 Feature 

Your teache series has been direly missed.

Finally, Bitwig will free us all from the enchanted 8 bar loop. I'm glad you're back

Hooray for Tâches to get back into making content about bitwig. Imo bitwig videos are the best music making tutorials that are targeted to specific DAWs that exist and Tâches videos used to be one part of those. Looking forward to seeing more in the future again!

"Part of being a producer, I think, is creating millions of these [8 bar loops] and never quite finishing them". I feel both attacked and validated, which is the weirdest combination of emotions.

I switched to Bitwig almost exactly a year ago, learning from your videos and many others. I’ve never created more music in a year. This new feature you show here is to me the essence of what Bitwig is.

if you have XY controller, you could do same thing with Vector-4 or even Vector-8 modulator, and thus having ability to float from one state to another in a much easier way than keeping track of all the knobs.

5:07 narrowly misses elbowing the mic... appreciated! great tutorial, thanks!

Really love the idea of having lots of complicated tracks and effects and yet controlling them with a few controls. Achieved similar effect by mapping the same how knob to multiple effects but this is way cleaner and nicer! Love your energy and music too, keep it up!!

I love this in Bitwig, I was sorta doing stuff like this in Bitwig 4 by sending midi CC's to each track with the Note Receiver and having those CC's modulate things on each track, to do some stuff similar like I was doing with Scenes in my Octatrack, but this makes it so much easier. Bravo Bitwig. And of course you can have pages and pages of these modulators and switch between them on the fly. Really cool.

Wow, this is epic. Gonna start playing around with Bitwig asap

I love the idea of moving more towards performing on a mix using the project controllers, nice way to get unstuck with arrangements. Thanks @Taches

This is bitwig version of octatrack fader... love it...

Nice to see how to use these new features in a real world scenario. Thanks

awesome to see a new production video from you! these are always so inspiring, thanks!

Hurray you are back! Great stuff, that's the way to do it. It is becoming a real powerhouse for performance work, and this new hybrid of live in the studio. These new modulators really add a lot. Nice use of the sends!

Since you've mentioned 'organic' and 'flowing' I love the efficiency of this approach, that's why I switched to Bitwig years ago; keeping the process as simple and intuitive as possible despite the gazillion of options under the hood. PS: Loving the vibes of that mix. Keep it up, greetings from Las Palmas GC 🤪

Can’t wait to try this out, thank you

Simple but effective! I would have never thought of going that deep with it.

Hello Tâches, welcome back to Teaches! ❤

Thanks for explanation and How to . This one definitely reason why I need to consider Bitwig to complement my usual DAW .

This is a very helpful video. One of the first new features I've seen in BW5 that resonates.

This feels like THE method to go from loop to song. Brilliant work

My dude, thank you for this! Much appreciated!

very inspiring tips and tricks, Really helpful! This feels more like the mindset of a dj who is building up a constantly morphing live set.

Brilliant!! Genius!!

I realised this sort of thing was possible when I noticed the new project modulators feature, but this is actually the first time I've seen anyone do it. It's incredibly useful!

Whoa, it's the Oktatrack fader... done Bitwig style. That's so awesome.

Love your work!

Wow, I never knew how knobs can take u to another level of composition and performance in most minimal way. thank you really. This would help my future set and productivity.

Nice one. Gonna download the update now and play with it!

Neat jam, very informative as I have yet to use the new features. Thanks.

Nice to see you back at it.

Bitwig is just on another level man. LOVE this DAW.

Great and practical tip as always, missed your pearls of wisdom

Perfect for Live performance as well 🎉

game changer! thx so much man

This is amazing!

Good to see you again brother. Hey that intro button could act as a type of “ducking” when making background music for a documentary or something. When there is dialog in the video, “duck the vocals” and melodic bits but keep the beat and volume even.

This has other uses like when mixing, you could map a bunch of things accross a few tracks to one knob to make the comparison easier. E.G you want to turn down the treble of the vocal, but when you do that another instrument sounds muddy, so you think out that instrument in response… cue chain reaction. It would be good to sometimes map those things to a knob and compare before and after in a quick way

once so complex to make, now it's easy, good job bitwig 5 !

Very helpful video! Thanks!

Kudos, great use of the project modulation... as an old Cubase user, I've been using these mostly as VCA groups but this is quite inspiring.

I’ve been dreaming a while for performance surface in bitwig and this global macros seems a clever idea. I think I will try incorporate it into starting template. Thanks for advice, mate!

Woah

Bitwig is amazing. I love it soo much.. Thank you for the video. Greetings from Poland 😎

Great video. Thanks a lot.

Reminds me of Elektron Octatrack fader and scenes assignments 👍

This is a great approach! I'm tired of making 8 bar loops and maybe this will be the way I start finishing things. Thanks.

Most Excellent

I'm still on cubase because i am avoiding the hastle of learning a new daw but there is so much cool stuff on bitwig that i can't ignore it any more

Brilliant. Thanks!

I got soo many loops whitout progression. This is going to help a lot!

“Slow manipulation from one state of being to another” well said!

So good you are back with Bitwig tutorials! Such a nice send Reverb! Could you please share what are Tank and Wet FX inside it?

Interesting to hear why you want a knob

YES

nice 👍👍

the breakdown knob is especially compelling

Tremendous! I can use these Global modulators ike the octotrack fader boooooOOOooOOM

Nice

Yesss! Welcome back 👍 Are you offering private tuition at the moment?

So, as you did this in the arranger, what if you did that in the clip launcher view and hit record whilst turning the macros? You could almost get the whole thing (automation etc) arranged in real time. Mind blown 🤯 I purchased Live years ago because the session view recording direct to the arranger blew me away. This is the next level of that paradigm. I love Bitwig ❤

hahaha now I'll assemble an octatrack on a bitwig it's now so easy to make all the eleKtron chips on the fly

this is great ,,,, i guess what's next is to have some sort of way to save them like capture them like scenes

He's back! Great video taches! Like an extension of the min/max idea... How would you go about recording an arrangement out in this scenario though? Or is this more from a performance/live kinda vibe?

When I came up with the idea of global modulation and made my 2 plugins ADSR and PerlinNoiseMod, I knew it would be a groundbraking idea, but I wouldn't have guessed that even Bitwig themselves like it so much that they implement it as a fully fledged DAW-feature and the main attractor of the latest version, which I myself ironically don't even own, because I just ran out of subscription that month. Now about your technique: I have thought about the possibiity to use global mods to make insane macros across the entire project in order to define how the sound should move into a new part gradually as well. And ofc it would be huge if we could modulate even the overall gain of the tracks for that and you sorta do that already. But I'd argue that Bitwig has to steal another feature, that can be found in most of my plugins, in order to nail this workflow. Because atm there's the undeniable problem that if you attach any type of modulation to a mixer track, then you can't really influence the base value anymore without also having to adjust the modulation, because you might still wanna use the fader simply for mixing purposes, as that's its primary function, but you also wanna keep whatever the destination of your modulation is at the same position. Atm it would move away from its value relative to the base value's changes though, so you have to adjust your modulation everytime you mix and I feel like that could get pretty annoying. Mixing should be as fast as possible, because it's a process where you shouldn't get stuck listening to a certain sound too long to prevent ear fatique, so the DAW needs to make sure to make it as simple as possible. In my plugins I solve this by letting people switch between relative and absolute modulation. Relative modulation is the modulation everyone knows, but in absolute modulation mode you can tweak the parameter value without moving the maximally modulated point. That enables you to really treat a macro control as something that moves a bunch of parameters between 2 fixed settings.

Thanks for another great video. I’m curious, where do u get vocals from?

Living in nature on Mallorca must be ideal for enhancing your inspiration and creativity. Would be quite interesting to learn more about your journey as creative professional and how you ended up there.

Excellent video! Bitwig is blowing mind. I'm curious what is the make of that mixing console you're using?

That's an excellent set up for live mixing if you're doing a dj set I'd think. Super cool

Really nice idea to modulate the send levels too! I use send tracks too rarely. Do you ever use the A/B mix crossfading or do you think it‘s obsolete now with project-level macros?

YIEEEHAAAA !!!! 💥

Great video. What is that mixer/controller on your desk?

And I thought I was alone in thinking the global modulators (not the MSEG fiesta) was the single most exciting feature of BW 5. Nice vid 👍

amazing! what midi controller are you using here on the right of your laptop?

Very cool, exactly something I have been wanting to know more about. 😎 What controller are you using in the video? Thanks 🤙

How are you working this in with your older video on min/max automation where you were cutting out parts manually and automating individual parameters? I feel like this project level modulation may a better fit for a house arrangement style. Not sure if you changed you workflow from the min/max to this?

Great video. Was that a doobie behind your ear in the last shot? 😜

this video makes me want to make the switch to bitwig. got dammit

Add a project macro to modulate the swing and tempo.

scenes basically!

Will there be a part 2, where you record the macro knob movements? I m still a beginner, and would love to know if there is a automation lane for each macro knob? If not, that would be a pity, because that would mean that later automation point editing just stays the same as in previous versions.

How are you managing to 'monitor in room' with what seems like zero leakage into the microphone?

We miss you :(

How do I view the project devices? I don't see that "PROJECT" panel in the devices panel.

Man. It's like a new way to approach performing. My question is, can something crazy happen with the project level modulation and remote where you can activate clips while working in the arranger? The concept resolves around to not just be able to "jump to arranger" via the clip launcher, but to also jump back to a clip, or even activate one or man whilst playing the song throughout the arranger

Which midi controller is that? This is so exciting!

ah man...are you trying to get me to buy the yearly sub and upgrade to v5!? because this is pretty slick.

Hi, you mentioned a long time ago that you are creating a grid course? Did you finish it? Where can we purchase it?

Can I do this on logic?

Well dangit, I guess I'm going to have to upgrade from 4.10

Sweeet😊

I get so frustrated that the only person who holds control is me

yeah yeah, nice feature, but the browser sucks and is a big big step back. Feels like some sort of apple garage band browser

To me it seems you're doing the exact thing as removing things, honestly.

intermittent lol

cant listen to any advicw with mic pacement like that

And still no MIDI step entry. Bitwig, why?
